Israel has stated it does not plan to leave Lebanon even if the current ‘war’ ends. If the Gaza model is any guide, Israel appears to be moving toward expanding its border into Lebanon.

The plan to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani was the result of a years-long harassment campaign against the activist, carried out by a wide network of Zionist organizations and elected officials who have promoted violence against Palestinians.

Benjamin Anthony’s speech at New York’s influential Park Avenue Synagogue, where he argued that U.S. Jews need to support ethnic cleansing in Gaza, illustrates how the American Jewish community has embraced Israeli racism and brutality.

The passing of the recent Israeli death penalty law aimed at Palestinians formalizes what Israel and colonial powers have always done: creating new laws to legalize colonial violence.

“Israel is seeking to exploit the war … to impose new realities and facts on Jerusalem,” says Greek Orthodox Archbishop Attalah Hanna. “[This] is an attack on Jerusalem, its identity, its history, its heritage as Christian and Islamic holy sites.”

Human rights groups condemned a new Israeli law targeting Palestinian prisoners with the death penalty as a possible war crime and “deeply discriminatory.’ Meanwhile, Israeli ministers celebrated the law’s passage with champagne on the Knesset floor.

Alexander Heifler, accused of plotting to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani, was part of a group influenced by Meir Kahane and the Jewish Defense League. What is the JDL, who is Kahane, and how do they continue to inspire Zionist violence?

An 18-month-old toddler in Gaza was returned by the Israeli army to his family with burn marks and puncture wounds on his legs. Doctors say the wounds are clearly the result of torture while the child was detained with his father.

A month into the Iran war, it is clear that Israel aims to disrupt any possible off-ramp the Trump administration and Iran may be looking for to end the fighting, and that Iran, not the U.S., is the key actor that will determine how the war ends.

The Hamdia family spent all of their life savings on building a home, but Israeli bulldozers destroyed it in a single day. They are one example of Israel’s surging policy of home demolitions in the West Bank.
